Hello,
How would I add WiFi support on the beagleBone Black Wireless if using the Bullseye Distro?
Seth
P.S. I figured it out a while back but things may have changed…
Hello,
Me again. Anyway, I ran sudo beagle-version and this happened. This is primarily an untouched system running on the BBBW.

P.S. If you see any ideas about what exactly I can do to relieve the “no access” of WiFi on this board, please reply.
Hello Again,
I know it is real early and people are probably tired. Forget that mess…
So, it seems I checked /etc/udev/rules.d/ and got no wlan0- udev rule. Does anyone know of a quick solution or does digging deeper sound easier?
Seth
P.S. I know from readin’ that the udev rules for networkd and networkManager are losing ground and being replaced from what the wiki at Debian.org states.
…
So, is there a solution or am I just barking here?
Hi @silver2row ,
Wifi is configured via:
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
It’s the same syntax/setup as every Raspberry Pi wpa_supplicant configuration example on the net! 
Regards,

Just to add, after editing the config file you can tell wpa_supplicant to reload the config file using:
wpa_cli -i wlan0 reconfigure

@RobertCNelson and @zmatt ,
When you guys are right, you guys are right. Thank you for the support the night before Christmas.
Anyway, @zmatt , the command finally worked after erasing some of the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf file and adding what is expected…
Seth
